Bio Summary

Dave and Thom have been playing music together since 2005, when they were both working as biologists on the California Condor Reintroduction Project in a remote area of northern Arizona. Crow Wing came together organically over the next three years, with Ryan joining Dave and Thom after an impromptu jam session during a party in the desert. Andrew, an already well-known Flagstaff drummer, entered the picture in 2008 after volunteering to sit in on a live show with the trio. The uncommon musical chemistry between the four at that show was intoxicating, and they wasted no time in booking the next. The official formation of Crow Wing wasn’t far behind.

Whether performing solo or with members of Crow Wing, Dave has shared the stage with a wide variety of acclaimed musicians in the last two years, including 2008 Oscar winners Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova of The Swell Season (and stars of the movie “Once”), Jeffrey Foucault, Peter Mulvey, Gregory Alan Isakov, Tony Furtado, David Lindley, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and bluegrass legend Del McCoury.

Press

"...With lyrics as candid as Josh Ritter('s), McGraw's vocals dance over tight guitar riffs and up-tempo rhythms, informed by his past as a percussionist. His voice is at once familiar and refreshing..."

-Jackson Hole Weekly News (Wyoming)

"...suberb music inspired by the natural world."

-Flag Live! (Flagstaff, Arizona)
